Dublin chairman denies attempting to 'poach' Mick O'Dwyer

DUBLIN GAA chairman John Bailey has hit out at Laois County Board suggestion on Monday night that Mick O'Dwyer was being 'poached' by the Dubs.

Asked if he had spoken to O'Dwyer about the Dublin vacancy, he repeated that the only time he had met him was at the recent Ladies Football Final in Croke Park - and that was a casual meeting.

He insisted that he would never attempt to 'poach' a manager involved with another county, but that he would have no difficulty in speaking to one who was available.
